Carpentry provides training in construction methods, characteristics of wood and composition products, basic blueprint reading, and mathematics. Students will learn the proper use of carpentry tools and develop basic carpentry skills. First-year students learn these skills by building storage sheds, while second-year students construct a 3-bedroom home. Students are taught to use hand and power tools, cut stock, apply construction mathematics, interpret blueprints, and understand basic rigging. Students will become proficient in identifying types of residential construction components to frame walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, doors, and windows.
